Hi...i really dont know much about levels and numbers but listen dont worry...i'm sure things will be fine for you...I think we should not keep taking these tests mailnly because it makes us so anxious...But sweety , you are in my prayers and you will be pregnant this time...dont worry at all..
I went for bloodwork in the morning and now whatever happens, its god's wish...I 'm excited and anxious....
Mary,Angel, what about you both..did you both do HPT..Give us good news..Am praying for you both also...
and about symptons, most of the ladies here who are now pregnant have had almost no symptons...So dont worry...Your strong faith in God will get you to your destination maternity...
Good morning GG,
I agree with Mallika, we should not take any tests prior to the 2ww. Remember, I took one HPT on 9dpiui and it came back 'invalid'; then I took a second HPT test on 13 dpiui and it came back negative. When I went in for b/w at 14piui, it was positive. Just continue to Trust God, continue to keep your Faith up, and have patience. Keep on posting, one of us will respond when we see your post. I don't know about the other girls, but I would go to bed early to cut
back on my dwelling and anxiety. Keep your spirits up and pray for strenth and patience. You are all in my prayers. I thank God for putting you ladies in my path, this has been such a positive experience. I am here for you!
Good luck to you mallika! You are in my prayers, may God grant you a positive in your b/w results. Stay positive, God has a Plan for us all. Keep us posted. May God Bless You sweetie!!!
MaryLo and Angel, you go for b/w on Monday right? Will you be doing an HPT prior to Monday? Keeping you in my prayers...

Mary and ANgel- Did you both do HPT..What happened...
I am very sorry it wasn't a positive as we were all wishing and praying for. As you know, I did three previous IUI's with negative results. Stay strong, I know how hard it is the day of the news, but I admire you for being stronger today. Once you speak to your doctor, you can make the decision of your next steps. May God continue to give you strength to get through this, and may your Faith in Him give you a positive result next time.
God can do anything, remember that He does His Will is his time, He knows when it's best for us. I am now 38, my husband and I got married when I had just turned 31, it's over 7 years later & 7 years of TTC & 7 years of getting sad
How do I get to read the offline message?
Thanks a lot Matola..Really...your encouraging words mean a lot to me...I know it is so tough, evertime, we get our periods and its like oh no...

Goodmorning ladies. I've been missing in action this weekend. Ive had Internet issues. Mallika I'm very sorry about your negative. I know you believe that Gods timing is the best. You will have your positive at the perfect moment. I've had 2 iuis and they've been negative. Im literally sitting in the doctors office right now waiting to get my bw done. Whatever God has in store for me is what I want no matter if I understand and like the outcome or not.
MaryLo I'm Praying for good news, in Jesus name it will be done. I Get to test on Thursday if I do not come on my period before, I very little to none Pregnancy symptoms which worries me, but the word of God's says fear

Thanks
Although I had a Neg- urine a little bit ago, its 11 days pos my iui, I promised not to test untill Thursday, but I couldn't help it I started cramping about an hour ago with lower back pain, my lower abdomen and both sides are real sore and crampy, my nipples are very sensitive/sore. Only the Good Lord knows. How are you doing? hope well,
GG, I tested on day 13 piui and it came back negative, and the next day my b/w came back positive. Stay positive and wait until Thursday's b/w results. Stay focused and keep on praying, we are all praying for each other... keep us posted.
So I am all new to this and just found this forum. I went in today for dr.'s apt to take a shot and possibly have the IUI on Wed. but they were not 18 cm yet so now I go in on Wed. for another ultrasound an to hopefully have the IUI on Friday... After i have the IUI on Friday what happens after that? Dr. has not gave me much info..
Congrats to all ladies who get positive results and XOXOXO to all ladies are still trying. This month has been hectic for me. At first my husband was out of town so I had to take couple days of birth control pills to slow the development of my follicles; and then the person who does the sperm wash in the clinic was out of office for a week. So I thought we will try to conceive naturally this month. I think my husband probably is very happy to try naturally. Honestly I feel the fertility process is not sexy at all. I started with Follistim 125U on 04/13/12 and had ultrasound on 04/18/2012. My follicles were still small so my doctor jumped up the Follistim to 175U. Went in again on 04/20/2012 follicle were still small, continued Follistim 175U. Went in this morning it seemed I only have one follicle from my left ovary measured as 15mm so I will continue Follistim shots and go in again this Wednesday for ultrasound. I was feeling down a bit this morning because the only follicle is from my left ovary which seemed to be blocked. My doctor had told me it is still possible for the sperm to find the egg with a blocked tube. I kinda feel sad and hopeless… Why it has to be this difficult…
today is 13pdiui, tomorrow i am due for my Beta blood test..... it feels as though af is on her way, got those dull cramps yesterday, but yet my boobs are still as sore as ever,,,,, hope its a good sign.....
i am so tempted to test today but no, i am going to hold on till beta,,,,,
if God not grant me wish this cycle, then i will be going onto cycle iui #3.... i pray that it wont have to go to ivf...
i love reading this thread, it gives me hope of a BFP,,,,, congrats to all the ladies who got their BFP, i wish you a happy and healthy 9 months ahead, God bless you all
xoxo
Congratulations Mary...Thats Great....And you will carry this one through and have a beautiful healthy baby..100%...
I hope to be lucky next time...Need your prayers always...
I just read about your results and I wanted to say, please don't get discourage. This road is challenging, but rewarding.. and the best part of it is that you are with the one that is ALLMIGHTY and ALL POWERFUL and that's God. He will help you and your husband get through this to soon have you BFP! Remember God timing is just perfect and this positive will come. You are always giving words of encouragement to people here which is awesome.. that speaks volumes about who you are. I will keep you in my prayers, time for crying is over.. now is time for you to llok forward and expect the miracle. Hugs!
went for my Beta bloods this morning, waiting to hear if its BFP or iui#3...... :shrug:
thank you for your kind words, i am praying to God to bless my womb, for he has say, "ask and you will receive, knock and the door will be opened, for the love of the Lord has no end"
Dear God, i am asking and i am knocking, i am going to leave it in your hands. Amen.
To all the ladies waiting for BFP, i am sending you love and lots of special prayers.
Take care, i will post as soon as i get my results,
Hi yanira...Thanks a lot for your kind encouraging words....I really appretiate it..Thank you so much for keeping me in your prayers...
How are you doing?....I pray for all of you everyday and for a positive for myself...I know God has a plan for us and I'm 100% sure me and my hubby are going to be blessed very soon with a baby..
Are you getting any pregnancy symptons now like strong smell and all that? Wow i really feel nice for you...All the best to you and keep in touch..
After my 2nd IUI, We are giving this cycle a natural chance..Maybe we will be lucky..Amen....
And suppose it doesnt work, then we go staright for IVF in the next cycle...
Rest is upto the Allmighty....With all your prayers and blessings, we will get a BFP and a sweet healthy Baby...Love you all
All the very best for all those who are still waiting for a result..
You all are in y prayers...God is kind..
You know I get scared and worried sometime and i think, why are we struggling so much...but then i think Its God's will and he will soon shower us with the blessing of a child...100% he will because God is Great and he loves us all...
No we are going to try naturally this cycle and if this doesnt work, we will go for IVF most probably next cycle..I am really scared for IVF but then if that is what God has planned for us...Everything happens as per his wish..will keep you updated..All the very best to you!
Dont feel hopeless and dont lose faith..I know how hard it is..I am also in your shoes...But we have to stay strong and positive...Very very soon God will grant us our miracle, our dream...
Hi Mallika, So glad to read about your decision....but I know IVF is pretty expensive, maybe you should give it another chance to IUI. In my case it worked on my 3rd IUI (but after the 2nd IUI I found out that I had a problem with my right fallopian tube (hydrosalpinx), and it was removed). But as I said, those are options and I'm sure you will follow your heart on next steps. I will continue visiting this forum, because I would like to read about your BFP soon!!! ^.^
As far as sympthoms I'm tired, don't feel like eating much (I feel nauseous constantly), and I have heartburn. Other than that I am doing good. Yesterday was our first app follow the BFP and It was just amazing to see his little heart beating so fast... (even though they told me that it was kind of early to see it, so my husband and I were blessed for having that opportunity). Now I need to get off my heals (oh Lord)!!! haha. Trying to continue with my normal life, and to follow all the instructions.
Blessings to all of you who are ttc... never lose hope! Miracles happen every day. As Jesus said to the blind man "what do you want me to do for you" (Luke 18: 35-43). Never stop believing! hugs!
How far along are you now? I have an appt to go in for an u/s to hear the baby's heartbeat 05/14/12 (week #7). Good luck to you, God bless you. I can't wait to hear the baby's heartbeat. Looking forward to your updates.
Hello - I believe I'm 6 weeks, but they will confirm on my next appointment on May 8th. I was told they measure the baby on week 8 and they will have a better idea.
I know you will be blessed when you get to hear your baby's heartbeat!Have a healthy 9 months!...
Do you have any sympthoms? -.-
I wish you the same - a healthy and blessed 9-months! I don't have any symptoms, other than tired and sleeping by 9:00PM...which is not like me... :). We have waited for this moment for over 7 years, I want to enjoy every minute of it! God bless you and your family!
I am new to all of this I have 2 children and never had any problems until now. I am 35 and have finally met a wonderful man that dosen't have any children and we have been trying and we found out his sperm analyzes was abnormal. I just had an iui after being on clomid and this wait is killing me i go for a progesterone level on friday and i'm not sure what numbers i should be hoping for? anyone have any imput?
Hi Ladies, I'm working 2.5 hours from home today so I made my husband drew my blood this morning and I dropped it off on my wy to work at 6AM, but the Lab will not run it until 2PM so therefore I will not know anything until 4.30-5.00 PM today, but yesterday I did a urine HPT it was Neg-, so I'm living it to the Master, He knows what's best for me. How's every body else doing? Stay pos+. I was due to start my period yesterday nothing yet, I have no pregnancy symptoms at all. Its very scary..... Anyways I will keep you Ladies posted....
Thanks, me too! my husband keep calling on the result but they cant seem to locate my specimen, lol, but I feel like I'm getting ready to come on, I hope not. I think I worry too much about it, I need to leave to God, and let it be...
I have been thinking about all of you. Melenita and GG any news? I know that I have been missing in action but I am still thinking of you girls and praying that God will bless you all at His perfect time.
Mato, Ive been thinking about you? HOw are you feeling? How far along are you? ARe you still being closely monitored? Keep me updated.
Mallika Im glad to hear that you are going to be trying naturally! My first pregnancies actually happened naturally. That's the best way to go because you are right "infertility conceiving" is sooooooo not sexy!!! I hope the best for you.
Have we heard from Toneita and Angel? I haven't seen them post recently.
To all the new girls in the blog, keep your heads up, stay focused and positive and remember to primarily leave your concerns completely in God's hands. His will be done always in your lives. That's the BEST way to go.
After 2 miscarriages, 2 failed iuis and 3 years of trying I finally have a positive and I am thanking God everyday I wake up and I am still pregnant. Im going in tomorrow for my 2nd beta hcg to see if my levels are rising. This apparently will demonstrate if my pregnancy is moving along in a healthy pattern. I am not going to lie.......I am suuuuper nervous considering my history, however, I refuse to allow myself to worry (its sooo hard). I will keep you all posted. Apparently the levels should double every 2 days. On Monday my levels were 480. If I understand correctly they should be 1920. I pray that they are.
Hey Mary..Thank you soooo much for thinking about us and praying for us...I know God will bless us all who are waiting....He is kind and he has a plan and timing...
ANd listen..you are 100% going to get a very good result tommorow and YOU WILL HAVE A HEALTHY BABY IN 9 MNTHS....POSITIVELY..
I am praying for you and for all of us...
Hi Ladies, I'm so sad my Doctor's office did not call me back with the result, I am so nervous, I can't eat, or sleep. I know God knows what's best for me its the human part of me I can't help it. I'm dying to know if I'm pregnant or not. I have no symptom what so ever. Please pray for my husband and I, enough about me how are you ladies doing, Marylo, Mallika, meli, how things, just stay positive +
my hcg came back as 1, so doc wants to do another beta if no af by wed,,,,, i am going to poas on Sunday if no AF......
this is so so confusing for me, its like living in limbo,,,,,
i know i will have a baby soon.....
hubby and i have decided to skip iui#3 if i am indeed not pregnant now and go straight for ivf,,,,, we got a great deal from my fs, so we are going ahead with it.......
bur if God has other plans for me and i am already pregnant, then i will be estatic and over the moon...... so i am holding onto my faith.
Hi GGD...I know what you are going through but you have such strong faith..So hold on to your faith and whatever the result(Hopefully its positive) we have to accept it and Keep praying...I am praying for all of you...
God will listen for sure....
I just had my 4th IUI today- I am feeling pretty mixed about it- the Dr had a hard time finding my cervix today and I didn't get the normal cramping I usually get and am worried that maybe the placement wasn't ideal. We also changed our HCG timing and am hoping that we made the right decision. I also realized that I will be able to test on the 11th, my sis in law finds out if they are having a boy or girl on the 12th, and then Mother's Day is the 13th! I will be even more sad this time than normal (of course happy for my sil!). I feel bad for even saying anything about it. Sometimes it's just hard to stay positive. I love reading your stories and feel so comforted knowing I'm not alone in this journey. Thanks for being so open and honest- I wish for only the best for all of us!
All the best to you both..ya we will all get to live our dreams very soon. I will pray for you....its tough but eventually and very soon it will all be worth the wait..God is there for us.wejust have to wait for our time...
, I did not get any results back however I started my period this morning so I'm not pregnant. I;m very hurt, but it is what it is, I can't change anything God knows what's best for me. I don't think I'll do naything this month I might just take the clomid if that, I'm so hurt, how are you ladies doing? hope well.
Hi ggdr, i am so sorry for your sad news. I know from my own past experience how painful it is. I had an IUI on 12 April and am also hoping to be pregnant this time. I phoned my doctor on Thurs (14 days post IUI) but he said to rather wait for Monday or Wednesday before doing a blood test. Every day this whole past week i have been dreading getting my period, even now i am. I am strengthened and inspired by your faith in God. I dont know how i will bear a disappointment this time as the doctor has told me this was the last IUI for me and then i have to go to a fertility specialist. The odds are against me but I just pray that it is God's will for me to be preg. He is the God of the impossible after all. And i know He has a plan for you to be a mommy. Unfortunately his timing is not the same as ours. Be strong and press on. And hold thumbs for me please as you know what i am going thru right now.
thanks, I'll be praying for you, I believe that God is going to grant you your wish just trust him. keep me posted, most likely you are pregnant if you did not already start. I had my iui on the same day that you did.
I am 6dpiui and I feel like I can't stop thinking about it. I feel kind of depressed like I don't want to do anything! I just fear that if it doesn't work the first time that we are in for a lot more effort, heartache, and bad news in the future. I have just been getting bad news left and right and I am ready for something to go right for once. I am glad there are forums like this because nobody else probably know what I am going through. It is hard to have all of the bad feeling all of the time and nobody to talk to about it. Does anyone else feel kind of depressed?
listen dear first thing you need to do is relax and trust God, you must let him lead the way for you, we as human like to play God too much, Trust him honey he knows what's best for us. I just had a fail IUI it hurts but I trust him he knows something I don't know, just take it easy, read the words of God he will make away out of no way for you, you must be positive within yourself an order for positive things to start happening in your life. I will keep you in my prayer. It will be done keep yourself busy, its going to be a long ways before that two weeks waiting period you make the best out of it. Just remember whatever you are going through someone else is going through worst.
Hello ladies,
GG you just said everything I was thinking to write.
Dchi - as GG said you have to relax and trust God... you cannot control the results, but you can help by doing things that can keep you motivated, and not depressed. Remember this process is not easy... it is challenging and you need to get stronger.. what depression can do is to affect you and the way your body reacts to IUIs. Be proactive in finding a nice book to read, enjoying the company of your husband and family and spending time w/God... I promise you will feel better! Best wishes and blessings!
Hi again ggdr and thanks for your prayers :). Just an update from my side. LIke you i have no real pregnancy symptoms, but sitll no period. I have been spotting since yesterday tho. Naturally, that has made me extremely nervous and i have been dashing to and fro to the loo just to check if its the dreaded flow! Tomorrow is my day to test and i pray that i will get a BFP. Will keep you updated and will also keep YOU in my prayers. There is one thing i do know for sure, God is really in control of all of this stuff and if it is HIS will for it to be NOW, it will be. And the same applies to you. Take the clomid even if you dont do the IUI and just see what happens. As both of us know, this is easier said than done. But let us persevere like Hannah in the bible and God will reward us - in His time... So be strong!

Hi Ladies,
So I have MIA for a few days. It's been a rough few days but I feel better now. My beta numbers dropped to 11 by Sunday. I was advised that I will have a miscarriage, so now I am just waiting for it to happen which the doctor said may take about a week or so before it happens. It's such a heartache, sad, devastating, depressing, and so many other things but I maintain my Faith in God and I am sure that He does things for a reason.
Good luck to all you ladies, I pray that everything works for you all, we will have a happy day soon.
Trust God!
XOXOXO
my heart goes out to you sweetheart, I'm so sorry words can not express how I feel for you on that matter, again lean on God his got you Trust him in your trial and tribulations, he will make away out of no way, He's the light in the darkness, He is God all by him self, he does not need our help. Ill keep praying for you, God is in control trust him.
Be positive dear, Trust our maker God he will see you through, I'll keep praying for you. Everything is going to be alright, keep your spirit up, its going to be alright.
Hi dchi, pls know that you are not alone in feeling so stressed and up and down and all over the place. I had my last IUI on 12 April and am waiting on my blood results as i write this. You are certainly not alone and not abnormal to be feeing like you do. Everyone was telling me to relax but i just couldnt. I thought about it all the time. It does help to keep as busy as possible and to try to do fun things that you enjoy. Dont worry, it will soon be day 14 and then you will know for sure. I pray that you will be one of the lucky ones who succeed first time! Hang in there, girl and have faith that whatever the outcome, God is in control and knows when is the right time for it to happen.
My test came back negative and shortly after i got the phone call, my period started.Yay... Apparently the injections the doc gives u to help with ovulation can throw out your period times. So basically there is no guarantee that after you pass the 2ww period, you are pregnant... Sad but true... Needless to say, i am not at a spiritual high point right now...
Hi..Are you going for 2nd IUI..when? ALL the best to you and I am praying for all of you...
MAtola
How are you feeling today...Dont worry Honey, things are goign to be good for you very soon...
Can anyone tell me how to calculate ovulation day?? I have the kit but i'm not sure its working...
Thanks for praying this month is very hard month for me I lost my Mother a year ago this month, her birthday was yesterday, we did not get pregnant, so on but through all this I will tell you God is good all the time, and he says that He will never give me more than I can handle. I'm going to stay still and wait on Him, His love and mercy will come to our rescue.
Go on Yahoo type in ovulation the work great for me and you will enjoy some of the sites there be sure to select one that gives you the option on best time for Boy/Girl. but my understanding of it you will ovulate between Day 10 to Day 17 POS give yourself two days before and two days after. Docs tell you 14 days from the first flow day. If using a kit be sure you check your temp so you don't waste your money. some signs are clear or somewhat light milky discharge, cranky, cramps, craving for chocolate,
I'm sorry to hear that, try to stay positive and keep your chain up dear God will Bless you with a child.
Malika, I really want to take a month off, but my husband does not want to, if we going to do it, it will be May 8th for Ultrasounds, and May 10th for IUI if we have eggs.
IVF quote we got was $15,500 with meds. so we might try stronger meds with injection first.
when you are about to ovulate your temp is going to be slightly elevated the day before and the day of ovulation your temp will be around 98.9 - even go up to 100. so just look out for that and the clear like mucus/discharge odorless. I hope that helps
Hello! I am so sorry about this!... It is not easy but there is always hope. You are getting stronger through this process... My prayers go out to you and your husband. God is there and he has control of everything. Hugs!
Mother's day is coming up next week. I hope god hear my prayers and make me a mom soon. My stepdaughter's birthday is next Saturday so my husband and I are going to visit her and celebrate her birthday. Apparently my husband’s ex is very pregnant with her third child. Of course she is very happy. It’s just too hard for me to hang out at this time since I am trying to have babies. :(
Hi everyone, I have posted before but have gotten no response so i furgured let me try here so heres my story.
had my first iui 4 months ago which resulted in pregnancy but sadly at 5 weeks i had miscarriage. after 2 months we began again process for 2nd iui. Doctor gave me 100mg of clomid which didnt work so doctor raised it to 200mg . On sunday 4/29 opk showed i was ovulating . I went in same day and did the iui they told me to come in the next day for another iui. After 2nd iui on Monday 4/30 doctor saw that I had ovulated and made my appointment for 2 weeks 5/14 day after mothers day :-)
I am now feeling crampiing and bloated and my boobs are sore. Today day 5 I had some vaginal discharge. Does anyone know if having double iui increases my chance of getting pregnant? Does having a miscarriage affect the second iui?
Hello! I wish I can give you some answers to your questions, but unfortunately I have no idea. This is the first time I read about double IUIs... but I will assume it will increase your changes. I hope it works for you and you will receive good news. Stay positive and try to enjoy other activities that will take your mind away of the 2WW. Blessings!
Hi..some doctors do IUI on 2 consecutive days to increase chances,,,
and the vaginal discgarge could be a sign of implantation whicxh is good..Did you take HCG shot? If not and you still have sore breasts, that also could be a good sign..I wish you all the best and hope you get good news the day after mothers day...
I had my first IUI today. I'm excited but at the same time nervous. The doctor who was covering didn't give me any instructions. All she said was good luck and left the room. There I was with my husband and we didn't know what to do. A friend of mine told me that I'm supposed to go back tomorrow for another round, however I wasn't told. I feel and share the pain with you, who are going through this difficult and emotional journey.
Hello! Hope you are doing well!.. I have quite a bit of morning sickness and lots of heartburn!! but overall I am doing fine (cannot complain). Today was my doc app... so the baby measured at 7w 5d. I am still in disbelief.. it is just surreal...but at the same time grateful for this blessing that God has given us.
I continue praying for you! Many blessings and thanks for keeping in touch! Yz
Hi Mimi,
That's pretty bad that your doc didn't give you any instructions. Because it is your first IUI and I can imagine you have lots of questions. Try to rest, don't do any crazy activities... have intercourse tonight and tomorrow... (just letting you know what my doctor told me).
Wishing you the best in this journey!
OMG. Thats bad move in ur docs part. He should explained everything to you especially if this is your first time. Just rest and relax these 2 weeks are gonna be LOOOOONG but im praying everything works out for you.
Hello! I wanted to share my experience with IUI. This site was wonderful for me when I was going through the 2WW.
I am 34, no previous pregnancies. My husband and I ttc for 12 months before seeing a fertility specialist. After rounds and rounds of tests and 1 surgery, it was discovered that I have premature ovarian failure.
Immediately I was put on:
Gonal-F (150mg/day for 6 days)
Pregnyl (trigger shot) on 4/20/12
IUI - 4/22/12
1/2 Pregnyl shot to support implantation on 4/27/12.
Longest 2 weeks of my life!! I took the HPT on 5/6 and another on 5/7 - both were BFP! Confirmed with bloowork the afternoon of 5/7/12.
During the 2WW, I didn't have a lot of symptoms. My temperature went up from 98.6 to 99.1. And my bbs were very sore, which I attributed to the shots because they had been sore since I began the Gonal-F shots. But nothing else, which had me concerned. Don't let this bother you! Not everyone will have a ton of symtoms (symptoms)!!
Good luck to all of you! I'll pray for BFP's for each of you!!
Aww congrats!! Seeing that BFP makes this all worth it!! Wish you the best . Keep me in your prayers my appt is 5/14. day after mothers day . Which Im thinking maybe I can check on mothers day (day before appt) since technically its day 14 from 1st iui. IDK . Im feeling cramps like im abou to get my period. and on day 5 and today day 9 got discharge. Im trying not to read into it and just wait till test day.. HOPING FOR THAT BFP!
Hello, I am 36ys old and 5 days past iui and was reading all of your comments. Very interesting! This whole ordeal does weigh heavy on the mind. I think about it constantly. This was my first iui. My boobs are slightly sore, however, this is normal before AF around this time. The wait is long, like the longest two weeks of my life. I have kept the iui to myself other than my closest family members. After the iui I had some cramping and now feel subtle cramping every now and then on my left side. I have a blocked tube on my right-side, which will not be corrected. I am unsure of my dx. My gyn dx me with pcos due to a slight elevation of testoserone level of 51. I do get one cyst on my ovary, never the cysts that look like a string of pearls. My fertility specialist stated not to worry about that. Last month my follicle did not mature, it turned into a cyst, thus iui cancelled. This month after what seemed like every-other day monitoring i got a follie at 21mm (or is it cm?) :)
I really dont like the monitoring at all. The constant bloodwork and sonograms at 7:30am! hahaa I hope that this FIRST iui works and I dont have to go through this again. Should I not get a BFP, i will wait a few months before going through all of that moitoring again. what do you think? is it a good idea to wait a couple of months, or should i continue. My ins only covers 3 iui's before i can have IVF. Thanks :)
Hi Mallika, How things going with you? Thank you and all the ladies on this site who really understand what each of us going through. Tomorrow will be the 14th day after ovulating. I didn't do IUI this cycle but tried naturally. I did home preg test 2 days ago and it was negative. As today I do not get my period either. Don't have any symptoms either. I am so anxious and scared to test again and get a negative again. God... I really need some back bones here. Wish me luck!!!
I will def keep you in my prayers! You should be able to test on day 14 - the shots that will give you a false read should be out of your system by then. The cramping you're feeling could be a really good sign - that's typically associated with implantation. So is the spotting. My friend went through this one week before I did and she cramped the entire time - she got a BFP too!
When I did my first iui I had the same symptoms and that was a BFP. This time around I am anxious and excited . I took no triggers . Only took 200mg of clomid. Thank you I will keep you guys posted :-)
Thanks so much for your kind words. I know that none of us want to be in this situation, but here we are. Today is my 14th day after my 4th IUI. I didn't take a preg test today because I just feel like AF is on her way. It is also a hard weekend as I said before with Mother's Day, my sis in law finding out if she is having a boy or a girl, and now also my cousin has an appt on monday to see how far along she is. These are all great things, but I thing the addition of a negative test versus just my period would be too much. I am so happy to have read the great news posted by some of the women here on the forum. It is comforting to know that it can happen and to just put it in God's hands. I am pretty sad, but I have a great husband and family. We will be doing another IUI if this really is a negative. After that, I'm not sure what we will do as we both have infertility issues. Thanks again for this open and honest forum, it can be so difficult keeping these things in and being able to discuss them with others who are in my position is just what I need. Prayers all around :)
Hi Mallika and ladies, I don't how I should react now. I did several home pregnancy tests and got positive for all tests and went in to get blood test this Wed. hCG was 27. Dr. wanted me to go in again this morning and hCG is only 39. It doesn't double up. My doctor said he is sorry and this may not be a health pregnancy. But ask me to have another blood test again next Friday. Meanwhile, if I have lower abdominal pain I should go to ER... I read on internet " A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby". Does it mean in later pregnancy? I don't know what to believe at this point. Just kinda depressed. my emotions have been a yoyo since this Tuesday. Thought I will have a best mother's day ever... :(
So you actually got positive in hpt..thats great...since I do not know about hcg levels, I wont be able to help u there but dear dont be depressed..I will pray that this turns out tobe a normal healthy pregnancy for u....we have to accept what God plans for us..keep ur faith in him and he will give u lots of happiness....keep us updated
Hey everyone i am new to this forum and i have been reading up all these answers...congrats to all who are pregnant and to those who are not you in my prayers. My husband i I have been ttc for over 3 years with no luck. On our 2nd year bc of my irregular period we were started on Clomid. I did ovulate however no pregnancy. So after 3 years we decided its time to see a specialist. We have done all kinds of testing and everything was normal..i ovulated without clomid....no cysts...great uterus...hubby sample was also great. So nothing is wrong and no baby which makes me so angry lol. So we decided to try IUI. So my question is what should i expect when i have it done....does it hurt....and what are my chances of getting pregnant the firest time???
so update. today went to see my doctor for my 14th day check up.. urine test was BFN :-(
doctor said i should be getting AF in the next couple of days and if i dont get it by friday to test again. He gave me Rx for clomid in case AF does pay a visit. I am feeling cramps at times they are very intense.. Im a bit discouraged cuz the iui was succesful the first time so im not sure what happened this time. Nurse said maybe we tested to early so check again on friday. My DH says not to lose hope maybe Friday we get that BFP. Feeling a bit sad today. doc didnt even order blood work he just sent me home with Rx and to test again on Friday if no AF. Why didnt he just take blood work instead of making me go crazy from here till friday.
I have had 4 IUI's- just started the process for #5. It doesn't hurt at all, it starts off just like a pap, but there isn't all of that discomfort like a pap. There is some slight cramping when the semen is placed, but really that's it. I wish you a lot of luck. It's hard to say how many times it should take. We had been doing clomid/follistim (2), then femara/follistim (2), and now just follistim. We have male and female factors though, so hopefully your chances will be greater! Good luck :)
Poor thing... I know what you mean. My doctor is doing the similar thing to me. I got
BFP on 13th day. He ordered me the blood test, Beta: 27. He congrats me and told me that was a bit on low side so asked me to do another blood test 2 days later, Beta: 39 which didn't double up. He then told me he is sorry and this may not be a health pregnancy. BUT wanted me to go in and have another blood test this Friday. I was crying and screaming in my heart when he said sorry. He didn't know how my emotions go YOYO these days... I did several home pregnancy tests and they still show that I am pregnant. Oh well... Our babies are going to come when the time is right. I am crossing my fingers and pray for the good numbers this Friday. I will pray for you too. Hope we all hear good news soon. XOXOXO.
Thank you. That happened to me on my first iui. It was negetive in my uringe he ordered blood test and it was positive. there were monitering my beta to make sure they were rising. finally i went in to do my first sono . He told me "you are pregnant but unfortatlet it doesnt look like a normal preganancy . Looks like your about to miscarry." When I heard thos words it felt like my world ended. Completed my miscarriage on feb 13th. After nearly 2 months doc said we can try again. OPK said I ovulated on sunday 4/29 went in same day and the next day. When he did sono he saw that I did ovulate. DH had good count both times. I was confident that it worked since it worked the first time and this time urine shows negetive but he didnt even order blood work to confirm. simply told me to wait. This wait is driving me crazy.
I hope your beta goes up and you have your baby . When do you go back for beta results?
My daughter underwent 1 IUI on 4th May and today's her 13th day and she has to test tomorrow. She is very nervous and feeling like AF is to arrive in a couple of days. she's having cramps. I pray God to bless her this time too.
I really pray that your beta numbers go up and it turns out to be a healthy pregnancy.....good luck to you sweatheart.. ..were u on clomid this time...we were trying naturally but I tok clomid
Hi Mallika, You know we are doing all things we can do. Then we will let God take care of the rest. I keep telling myself this journey maybe long but worth every step of it. We have to have faith on God and one thing a time, one day a time, one week a time and one month a time. Our babies are on their way. Don't be too sad yet. Hope you won't get your period this month. I will pray for you. XOXOXO
well update.. yesterday AF payed her dreaded visit. So im now on CD 2!! Doc told me start clomid again as of tomorow and have appt for 25th to check my follicles. Im praying for you tho. You know what Im thinking. This is my first period since my miscarriage in Feb . Could that have played a factor as to why i didnt get pregnant?
Thank you. I am like you that I always try to figure out what happened. But sometimes we will never get the answer. I keep telling myself nowadays that I am doing all things that I can do in my power and I will let God take care of the rest. This journey maybe long but worth every step of it" Now I wanna share this with you and ladies in this forum. We are here for each other. I wish you all the luck this cycle. I hope you have couple great follicles ready on May 25. XOXOXO
Your right. We do what we can . In the end its all in Gods hands.. This forum has helped me alot . knowing that there are others who understand how I feel. Thank you for ur words.
I wish u th best for tommorow. Let us know how it went :-)
Thank you for your response.....I am waiting for AF to show up but shes no where to be found lol i am 1 day late but thats not unusual lol she always does this so i can take a test and get dissapointed and she will come right after the test lol.....this is our first time with IUI and i can not wait to do it bc reading all these success stories gives me so much hope...my DH and I are in great shape and all the testing came out normal it just hasnt happend...dr told us we could still try on our own and just wait till it happens but i have been waiting for too long :( Im going to be taking clomid 5-9 and ovidrel shot day 14 and get IUI day 16 at least thats what she said depending on my ovulation and stuff i wish u lots of luck in getting pregnant this time hopefully both of us will be close with our pregnancy and we can share some info
You're welcome :) Hopefully you're pregnant now!! You never know :) I'm the same way though, as soon as I decide to take a test, here comes AF- it definitely gets old fast. We've been TTC for 3 years, 1 on our own, 6 mo on just Femara, and now on our 5th IUI. We took some time off bc my husband had a procedure to help his sperm count (which really didn't do a lot). I go in tomorrow to see how my follicles are growing. I hope I don't have too many since I am doing all shots this time. Normally with the femara/follistim combo I get 3 good follicles which is ideal. I did femara day 3-7, follistim 7-10, trigger day 11 then IUI day 13. Maybe it's different for you since you don't need a trigger? I don't know what ovidrel is though? I wish you guys the best of luck- it feels great to start on a path that has some hope, that's for sure:) Keep us posted on AF and your first cycle (if ya need it!) :)
Ovidrel is a trigger shot that i have to inject it to my stomach to boost ovulation........yes i will deff keep you posted i will wait till monday and if no AF i will deff take a test :)
Thank you. My doctor called and tell me my hCG is still low as 68 so he believed this is not viable. He prescribed me medication to start my period. I am actually relieve after these two weeks emotional yoyo. I believe my babies are on the way. Not this time but will be soon. Thank you and all ladies here for your prayers and support. XOXOXO
I am sorry it didn't work out this cycle, keep your Faith in God, He will make it happen for you and all of us going through this tough journey. I had a positive on 04/19 with beta at 42.8 then two days later I had beta at 142 however on 04/29 my beta dropped to 11 and I was unfortunately told by my doctor that it would be a miscarriage, the M/C happened on 05/02 which was very painful. I was very heartbroken but here I am again waiting for my Day 1 to start anothe IUI. We need to only focus on the outcome of having a healthy baby and then it's all worth it. It was very hard for me, I can say that now... I've shed my share of tears but I know that God has a purpose and a plan for me, for all of us.
May God bless you and ALL the other ladies going through this process!
I am fine...getting Af symptons every now and then and feeling sad that maybe this cycle also didnt work but then I have left it on the almighty...he will decide for all of us and our desire willbe fulfilled by his blessings...praying for all of us everyday
I have not been on in forever. I took off a year after so many losses and a divorce. I'm not giving up though at the age of 39 I still pray for myself and any human being that is going through this Ttc struggle
Just wanted to see how things were going for you- I know you were waiting for AF... I just had my 5th IUI today- my 2WW should go by quickly since I'll be on vacation for part of it :) I hope AF didn't come, but if it did- I wish you lots of luck on your first IUI experience! Keep us posted! Prayers for everyone:)
Hello thank you for thinking of me that was very nice :) no shes still not here and after lots of negative tests ive never waited for her like this lol very anxious for her to come :) but i will deff let you know as soon as she arrives....yaayyy for you......sending you lots of prayers for this to be your last...keep me updated
Wow! It's been a little while since I was on here, but nothing has changed. Everyone is still very optimistic and encouraging. I was told by my previous doctor that IVF was my only option after my 3rd IU and learning that I have low ovarian reserve. He quoted me 17k for costs, which I couldn't handle. I found a new doctor who is about 30 years younger. She wanted me to do another IUI with different meds to include follistim, which I had not tried before. I agreed to try one more IUI with the new meds and had several mature follicles. The doctor was a bit concerned with multiple births, but did not cancel me. We had our IUI today, Memorial Day, so I hope this is a good sign. I'm glad I found a doctor who had me come in on a saturday and a holiday, which shows she cares about what my body is doing. Last try this way so hope it works. She wants me to test 12 dpi which is more exciting than the 15 dpi with my other doctor. Wish everyone on here the best, I have greatly enjoyed reading all the success stories and motivational exchanges. Good luck to all!
My IUI was on Monday, so I'm in. This is the first IUI that gave me sore breasts. I'm guessing it's from the follistim. I also had minor cramping the day of the insemintaion and the day after. What meds are you taking? Is this your first?
Hello-
I am 7 dpi and so far I don't have symptoms of anything... This is my 5th IUI and my first with all shots (normally I do Gemara and follistim and hcg). I also had tender breasts for the first time with this IUI and it was the most crampy afterwards- hopefully that means everything went where it was supposed to! Good luck to both of you during your wait and journey and prayers for everyone!!
Prayingforahealthybaby happy to hear that we are on same boat i did also on Monday 28 May, this is my 3rd iui i'am doing, the frist two times, i was feeling sore and severe back pain and crampy but this time i'm not feeling that much, Alhamdulillaah, i hope this will work for me, and i hope both of u the same, Waitingforyou.. u said this is ur 5th iui mashaAllah, this will be ur time inshAllah good luck sis.. let's keep in touch
Hi Everyone, I had my first IUI treatment 8 days ago. Since the procedure I have had lower abdominal pain, bloating, and sensitivity to the stomach area. Is this a sign of pregnancy? The waiting is horrible.
Well ladies, I obviously hope we all get BFPs. I have noticed my stomach feeling tighter, but I know its way too earlier for me to call it a sign. My doctor has me on progesterone that I started yesterday to help with implantation. I have to take it for 14 days. This is my 4th IUI, but first with fully injectable meds. She had me give follistim shots of 150u cycle days 2, 3, 4, and 5 and 125u days 6, 7, and 8. I was being monitored off-site since I live 3.5 hours from the dr. When I went in on 05-25-12 she took me off all follistim because I produced too many follicles and she talked about canceling. She did not cancel though and had me take ovidryl on 05-26-12 (cd 10) at 2330 hours. I then had the IUI at 1130 hours 5-28-12 (cd 12). Has anyone on here had multiple follicles when they had their IUI?? What happened??
GreekBuuterfly I wish you the best and hope it works, but I unfortunately have not been able to pinpoint down what the signs of pregnancy are with IUIs. Just take each sign hopefully as a positive one, thats what I am doing :)
I am in my 2ww now from my 5th IUI- first with all injectibles. I always have 3 mature follicles when I go in and they just say there is a slim chance of multiples. I am wondering why my re hasn't said anything to me regarding taking progesterone afterwards. I hope for the best for you!
Hi All i am new to this forum and was little hesitant to join, but after reading u all i was happy that i can share my pain with lots of gals like me, i have been married for 7 years now, 10cycles of clomid, laprocscopy and 9 iui cycles all negative. i am so depressed that i cannot explain. i have changed my doctor last month and this month i am going for a 10th cycle of IUI but with new doctor. today is day 14th and still have only one follicle on the right ovary measuring 18mm, doc said we will take chance and do the the IUI tomorrow. please pray for me that i successed this time.
And ALL THE BEST to all my new friends who are trying to become mommies!!!
